In his defense, there <em>is</em> an awful lot of unprecedented-ness with this administration

Politico: The White House’s unprecedented use of ‘unprecedented’

The Obama White House is addicted to the “unprecedented.”

Perhaps it was a sign when President Barack Obama sat down in January to record his first weekly address and announced: “We begin this year and this administration in the midst of an unprecedented crisis that calls for unprecedented action.”

What has followed is declaration after declaration of “unprecedented” milestones.

Well, the case can be made. Unprecendented amounts of debt; unprecedented expansion of government; unprecedented swinging of the political pendulum from Democrats to Republicans with unprecedented speed…

Unprecedented. Word’s lost all meaning now.

Via Memeorandum.
